Aberdeen Scotland, 13 Aug. 50 This morning the group of Royal Canadian Air Cadets touring the United Kingdom and Ireland set out from this beautiful city into the foothills of Scotland to visit the Scottish residence of the King and^ Queen at Balmoral. The original plan was that the cadets, would be received by the King and Queen but this was not possible as their majesties are remaining in London due to the imminent birth of a child .to Princess Elizabeth. The grounds and castle at Bal­ moral were (beautiful in the mor­ ning sunlight set against a back- drop of heather covered moun­ tains, with the river Dee flowing near at hand. The visit by the Cadets was a privilege which has seldon if ever been enjoyed by ,any other group as the King and Queen go to Scotland to rest and live in as great is possible during there. The group attended ! vice at the little Church of Scot- ' land at Crathie a few i yards from the castle. , vice was conducted by ; John ’ Lamb, Chaplain ' King. The King and Queen were - to have attended this service. The church was Crowded but no­ thing like the crowd that would have been present had their majesties been there when many have to be turned away. Thanks For Food Following the visit to the castle the party went on to the village of Braemar farther into the foothills where they attended a luncheon provided in their honour by the City of Aberdeen. On the drive to Braemar they passed Braemar Castle, the resi­ dence of Lord Tweedsmuir. At the luncheon the cadets were welobmed by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Duncan Frazer, who spoke of the great help that Canada had given to Scot­ land in the days of great food scarcity. To quote “You sent us ■parcels by the thousand which— I can assure you—brought com­ fort and variety when we were passing through lean years. For those gestures of your generosity we extend to you our most hearty thanks—and I am proud to meet you face to face—and offer the hand of friendship on this your visit to’ Auld Scotland.” The reception of the Canadian party in Scotland is typical of the welcome which they have re­ ceived during their tour, Every­ where people have made a great effort to make our stay here en­ joyable. Tb date the party has visited London, Cambridge, King’s Lynn, Cranweil, Edinburgh, and, of course, Aberdeen. Tomorrow we fly to Belfast where we will be received by the city and later by Sir Basil Brooke, Prime Min­ ister of Northern Ireland. From there we go to Wales and then to other cities on the west coast of England, On August 24 ,.we leave England for Canada. , Escorting officers on the tour are S/L S. C. Tugwell of Kings­ ton, S/L R. Smith of Hamilton and Mr, John Ayre of St. Johns, Newfoundland, who represents the Air Cadet League of Canada. privacy as their stay divine ser- hundred The ser- the Rev. to the Try a Want Ad—-A small doer of big deeds —Phone 31-W, W.O.A.A.
